sought refuge in the local hotels, and ar
have been made by the rail-
road company to take them to San Fran
cisco as early as possible this morning.

GALVESTON, TEX April 2,-The funeral

Cured this afternoon at 4 O'Clock and
was very largely attended. The services
were held at Grace church. A meeting

on the death of the distinguished LAWYER.
Judge Sabin presided, and on taking the

A ripple of excitement ran through the
city this afternoon ct the report thst
fresh water had been struck st the ar
tesian well being drilled by the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe Company, in their
yard about two miles west of the bus
mess part of town. The report proved
true. A vein Of fresh water was
encountered z depth OF 700 fesS, com
ing to the top of a ten inch pipe, five feet
above the surface and OVERLOOKING. The
pressure is not very strong as yet, the
water rising in the pipe at the
rae of one inch per miaute , but it is
thought when the sand is cleared away
from the bottom Of the tube the fow will
Increase If sufficient volume does not
result from the present depth the com
pany will Immediately add several hun
dred feet of four inch tubing. and
tap another vein. The Importance of
this successful experiment will be
appreciated when it is stated that Gal
weston is 3 city without wells and
without underground cisterns, relying
entirely upon the rainfall and surface
cisterDs for its fresh water supply. 1t is
confidently ezpe cted that as soon as it is
demonstrated beyond q doubt that
large volume Of fresh wafer has been
reached manufacturing boom will set in,
and in addition to the $5O0,0O0 rope and

industries will be encouraged by local

Mississippi rivers, are the result Of ten
years experiments, modified by the orders

and by appeals from commercial bodies

Of shippers. Your petitioners further
represent that the rates now in force, as
embodied IN tue tariff OF the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association, are
acceptable to our shippers generally, and
under them trade has been established,
contracts for the purchase and sale CT
commodities have been entered into, and
q sudden change would prove seriously
hurtful to the parties in IL
terest. We are informed by
the railway management that under
fesr If penalties provided by the inter
state commerce law their roads will be
compelled to largely Increase their rates
OF the 5th inst. This will destroy the
whole system Of rates upon which our
southern manufacturing industries have
been founded and will disorganiZe and
paralyZe the trade centers upon and
through which wholesale dealers have
established their extended business. We
therefore respectfully petition your hon
Orable body to pass an order on or be

THE FIsHERIEs DISPUTE.
Portland BusIRess Men no NOT Regard
Atkinson's Idea Feasible.

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. 1S.-The Argus to-
morrow will publish from three to four COL
umnr of interviews with Portland business
men on the proposal of Edward Atkinson of
Boston to settle the commercial relations dis
pute by purchasing the maritime provinces
for $50, 900, 900. Mr.. Atkinson's proposition
is generally considered impracticable on the
ground that Great Britain would not be Likes
1y to sell. Gentlemen who are for annexa-
tion but do not believe it possible at present,
and who propose commercial union or re-
newal of reciprocity a substitute, include
Hon. George F. Talbot, ex-Mayor Walker,
Daniel w. True, James P. Baxter, General
John Marshal Brown and ex Mayor Diering.
General Brown, speaking from a military
point of view, says England will never con-
sent to part with her great fortified strong
hold at Halifax. Fishing owners ridicule
Atkinson's plan and declare they have got
enough of Canada. Some gentlemen are
opposed to annexation, union or reciprocity.
Few are convinced that annexation will never
take place. The article gives all shades of
opinion, but brings out strong points in favor
reciprocity and freer trade relations. While
deeming the project of Mr.. Atkinson unprac-
teal the Argus expresses the opinion that the
discussion begun by him will lead up to
commercial union and perhaps eventually to
annexation. It believes the majority of
Maine people favor commercial union, but
are Indifferent to annexation
